Although Los Angeles was up against a Colts team without Andrew Luck, that had no bearing on how well Goff played against Indianapolis’ defense.

Goff’s success is largely due to Head Coach Sean McVay’s offensive system that gives the team more variation and makes them less predictable.

But the young QB isn’t the only Ram benefitting from McVay’s system. RB Todd Gurley, who praised McVay’s offense in training camp, had a welcomed performance in L.A.’s season opener as well.

Last year Gurley called ex-coach Jeff Fisher’s offense a “Middle school offense” in a year he couldn’t get anything going.

To start off this year under McVay, Gurley ran for 40 yards on 19 attempts and scored a touchdown. Although Gurley’s numbers don’t jump off the charts, finding the end zone in the first game of the season is reassurance he’ll be used properly in the team’s offense.
